Roosevelt Dime Sells for $506 Grand

Crazy. So back in '75 someone bought a mint set and noticed this. Imagine how many sets were broken/opened to be spent when they were gifted could've bought more than a bazooka gum.

I will guess after that price vans info hit the news the vast majority of proof sets have been searched

How did they know? An "S" mint mark means a coin was made in San Francisco. But the Philadelphia mint does not use a mint mark so there are a lot of coins around with no mint mark.

Only sanfransco mint makes the proof coins
And they are easy to spot with a high luster and almost mirrow surface. There are frosted proofs where the rased portions lok like the metal has a frost look so being complety being complety shine is not always the only guide line also that being sealed in the proof set realy helps

Some people have more money than sense. Amazing how many people have made a lot of easy money as the old saying easy come easy go.

Coin collecting is not for the faint of heart…… I have worked for some local coin shops in the past sorting coins and looking for higher grade coins to be sent in for certification. The sad thing I have seen time and time again are folks that bought a rare raw (not certified) and believed it was several grades higher than it actually was. One gentleman had a 1916 D dime he was told would score XF40. It was actually a Good 4.
He paid 6000.00 for it.. Actual value was less than 1000.00
The other mistake I have observed several times revolves around folks buying coins from TV adds and paid programing. The vast majority of it is worth considerably less than the asking price and will likely never accrue any value in the future….
As hard as it is to believe, the person who purchased the coin that started this thread will sell it for a tidy profit within a few years unless someone discovers another one….
